<p dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
Have you ask for help on the gdal user or developer lists? They have help me in the past. If you can't get it to work in Linux, you should try it in a Windows virtual machine. Not the best option but it would probably work.</p>

You could use gdal translate directly I imagine and try to
figure out why it's not working from there. I would use a tiff
format. Have you tried on another computer? </p>

Gdal will only work if it is pre-compiled with ECW support. I have
spend a couple of days already trying to source or build a version
of gdal that 'see' ecw files.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have recently tried to get QGIS to work with ECW files.<br />
<br />
Despite several days of multiple
installs/reinstalls/uninstalls/lib-upgrades/etc I have not
managed to get ECW to be opened by QGIS. This is really
frustrating as I am keen to use QGIS on an upcoming project.<br />
<br />
As an alternative, I would like to pose the following couple
of questions...<br />
<br />
My first question is, what is a good alternative to ECW files
for use on QGIS?<br />
<br />
The second question, how do I convert the ECW file into this
format without using a propriety software package?<br />
<br />
